Dave, is this the same receiver bundled with Powerloc Destinator package? It looks exactly the same in shape.

Dave, with "NMEA or SIRF" do you mean that there are two versions of the receiver or that it supports both the protocols?

It is Max, just that PowerLOC tend to have theirs switched to SiRF rather than NMEA as it works better with Destinator that way.



There are now two GPS standards, NMEA was the first and still is the most used, and SiRF is the newest one on the block. Basically 99% of GPS receivers come NMEA and SiRF compatible so if you know how to, and have the right tools you can happily switch between protocols. Most applications work with NMEA and this is the standard that most GPS companies suggest using.

Thanx Dave, you are great, as always!

The website for leadtek doesn't list the Dell Axim as a PDA they have cables for for the 9531 and 9532. Does anybody know if there are cables?
